Thanks for writing back, it’s definitely “food for thought.” Worse pun ever, I know. J<BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, I really want to thank you for having that blog out there. I’ve just returned to Kentucky after living in Maryland for the past five years. I started eating seasonally available foods from the Chesapeake region while there, and now that I’m back in my home state, I’d like to commit myself to the same task, but on a much more committed and serious level. Your blog has already been a great resource for me. I’m planning to kick off this new endeavor on April 15 and am spending my time up until then to prepare and gather resources. I’m definitely counting your blog as one.

Rice, oats, and wheat aren't 'natural' foods for us, either -- we had to learn how to change them in order to turn them into useful foods. Man has been using dairy from other animals for thousands of years. We're omnivores, and dairy is just one more example of a food we've learned to use.valereeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109328679669048231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145304480917779208.post-58361506020444095642008-04-12T09:42:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:42:00.000-04:00Why drink milk anyway?

We eliminated the nitrates and nitrites which means the hot dogs should be kept frozen until used and we substituted maple syrup - our local version of sugar - for the corn syrup. For this first batch we just made 113 pounds which have sold out instantly. We hope to make another batch in February.<BR/><BR/>The hot dogs are made using our all natural pastured pork but we don't actually make the hot dogs here on our farm. It requires special equipment, a clean room and a license to do any volume. Rather they are made at a small hot dog and kielbasa company in Massachusetts. More details soon.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>-Walter<BR/>Sugar Mountain Farm<BR/>in the mountains of Vermont<BR/>http://SugarMtnFarm.com/blog/<BR/>http://HollyGraphicArt.com/<BR/>http://NoNAIS.orgWalter Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720110642967540506noreply@blogger.com
